SthMelbRed Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 MDS was basically shit in every way during his time with the Whitecaps. You can't try to rationalise the bizarre decisions of shit managers. Nate3322 and footballfreak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I honestly think he can play the Vitoria/Henry role in near future. Edgewater17, TOcanadafan, Obinna and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Just in Miller, Cornelius and Kennedy we have 3 relatively young CBs with potential to grow. Arguably throw Johnstone unto the list as he is solid in a back 3 too. Plenty in the pipeline too even if there is yet to be a breakout "special talent" tipped for the top. costarg, nolando, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Can't find a clip, would be nice to see one: scored in m. 91 to make it 1-2 Regular season with a single table is over, now they play a relegation play-off with the bottom 8 teams, not sure how it works. johnyb, Edgewater17 and Macksam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Did not expect that, as if playing as a striker. Must have been a transition of some sort, like a few plays after an attacking corner, and he was still up in the box. Not entirely sure but I think the bottom 8 in the 14-team league now do a play-out round. They keep their league points, and play 7 matches in total. The bottom team relegates and the 2nd to last goes into a relegation playoff. As Panetelikos sit 9th, missing the top 6 championship round by 5 points, it is almost impossible for them to relegate. Teams 9-12 play 3 games at home, the lower teams play 4. blueseeka, rkomar, Metro and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams 9-12 play 3 games at home, the lower teams play 4. This is correct. While the top 6 in the playoff play each other twice, the bottom 8 in the "play-out" play each other once. Essentially, Panetolikos' season is done for reasons mentioned by UT. If by chance we see Cornelius benched for a couple of matches, it will likely be due to the team wishing to play younger players in preparation for the next season. johnyb, Ivan and apbsmith 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apbsmith Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Incredible form as of late, really made the most of his opportunity in Greece. This young man has definitely had some ups and downs but has never given up and continues to always put his head down and DO WORK. Really hard not to like this young man. Still only 24 which is tons of room to improve and get even better. Looking forward to watch him in the next WCQ cycle.

VinceA Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I don't think he has a future with Vancouver (but who knows with Sartini) but I hope the bigger clubs in Greece are keeping tabs on him. johnyb and Metro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I don't think he made the switch until he went to VfB Lubeck, but don't quote me on that. Unnamed Trialist and GasPed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player of the month of February I'm pretty sure. They tend to announce it 10-14 days into the next month. Last month's was the Olympiakos keeper Vaclik. So vote y'all, every bit helps.

dyslexic nam Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I may have missed it but is the reason he was playing up so high because they needed the win and we’re pushing players upfield to get the 3 points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 https://www.slgr.gr/el/article/interwetten-player-of-the-month-tou-phebrouariou-o-sempastian-palasios/ For the February MOTM, Cornelius finished 6th out of 7 with 3.48% of the vote. I'm going to go ahead and believe the Voyageur bump prevented him from finishing last. 😉 Nate3322, Corazon, GasPed and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slight step down in terms of league level, perhaps, but he'll be with the giants of Hungary and would certainly be playing alongside other internationals. A quick look at their roster shows players with caps for Ukraine, Morocco, Norway, Bosnia, Nigeria, Slovenia and of course, Hungary. Fun fact, former Seattle Sounder Henry Wingo plays there too (and does so regularly, to my surprise). This is also the club that reportedly wanted Adekugbe before he moved to Turkey. They are running away with the league again, so they'll enter CL first round qualifying next season.

I don't, but here are the CBs currently at the club (from most to least minutes): Miha Blazic Foot: Right Age: 28 TM Value: 2M euros International caps: 17 (Slovenia) Minutes played: 3642 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miha_Blažič_(footballer) https://www.transfermarkt.com/miha-blazic/leistungsdaten/spieler/179806 Sammy Mmaee Foot: Right Age: 25 TM value: 1.3 M euros International caps: 8 (Morocco) Minutes played: 2815 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samy_Mmaee https://www.transfermarkt.com/samy-mmaee/leistungsdaten/spieler/331840 Adnan Kovacevic Foot: Both Age: 28 TM Value 1M euros International caps: 9 (Bosnia) Minutes played: 2080 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adnan_Kovačević https://www.transfermarkt.com/adnan-kovacevic/leistungsdaten/spieler/187669 Lasha Dvali Foot: Left Age: 26 TM Value: 500k euros International caps: 24 (Georgia) Minutes played: 391 https://www.transfermarkt.com/lasha-dvali/leistungsdaten/spieler/222332 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasha_Dvali There looks to be a realistic path into the team. The only left-footed CB played less than 400 minutes this season, often times not even making the bench. FWIW the other players look to have played both left and right CB spots. This could be why they'd be looking for a dedicated left-footed CB like Cornelius, who is younger than all of these options as well. For comparison, his current market value is 700k and he's played 2672 minutes this season, in Greece of course (arguably a higher level, perhaps slightly). Derek has played 14 times for Canada.

Don't follow the Hungarian league, but my admittedly uninformed gut feel tells me it's unlikely that even a top team there has the money to pay transfer fees north of 500K EUR on any player they don't intend on starting regularly. https://hungarytoday.hu/salary-cap-squad-limits-nb1-mlsz-hungarian-football/ https://www.salaryexpert.com/salary/job/football-player/hungary Some quick google searching suggests average yearly Hungarian league footballer earns about 10K EUR per year. There might be other incentives on top of that, and I'm sure Ferencvaros significantly bring up the average, but still.
